I recently received this sample (thank you!) of the Mandala Wines 2018 Yarra Valley Rosé and couldn’t wait to give it a whirl. It mentioned in the media release that it goes well with wood-fired pizza and tapas so it was a great excuse for a pizza night.

On the eye, we found this one a pale polished copper shade. It smells like rose petals, oranges, watermelon and spice. While in the mouth it has flavours of crunchy apple, orange sherbet and red berries. Also, there’s a nice vanilla hint on the finish to end the wine beautifully. Y U M !
